Ponds for Artificial Propagation
of Trout.

There are scarcely two locations
that present exactly tine same condi-
tons for the construction of trout
/ ponds, and where the same plans could
be carried out with equal success.
Perhaps the best system for economic

time is the most convenient for chang

is to build series of four or SIX ponds
Make them entirely of wood. The
plan have adopted is TO build them
two abreast. and the others following
in order. Each should be about twenty
feet long, by twelve feet wide, and five
feet deep. Unmatched hemlock lum-
Der, an inch or inch and one-half in
thickness, is suitable for the purpose.
The ground is measured and staked off
in the desired dimensions. The exca-
walton is made as if for one pond. and
stakes are driven at regular intervals, a
few feet apart, around the entire ex-
cavation. If the bottom is made of
lumber - which is necessary if the
ground is porous-that should he

running lengthwise, and not straight

entire change of lumber.
A double partition extends through
the center of the excavation; TIE space
between the sides should be about two
feet in width and filled in with earth.
This strengthens the sides of the ponds
and also affords a walk between them.
The two sides are then partiuoncd off
into compartments of equal sizes. The
ponds on each side of the central divis-
ion should have openings of about
three feet in width between them, in

so rs to keep the fish separ ate and yet
allow the water to flow through. The
screens should be so arranged that
they can be readily removed. when it
becomes desirable TO give the fish the
range of two or more ponds. Seth

The Gardens Of Egypt

At the beginning of March the gar
dens of Egypt are really wonderful
the orange and lemon trees spread Their
most pungent odor, the rose trees are
covered with innumerable flowers; the
palms, with their green and white
crowns, swing then in the wind; the
oleanders then border the avenues; on
the lawns anemones. annual and per-
petua! Towering pinks. chrysanthethe-
NUNS. violets, zinnias, periwinkles.
snapdragons, mignonette, pansies and
petunias blend their innumerable colors
with the green off the trees, bushes and
shrubs. Groups of bamboo lift here
and there their long green or golden
stems, crowned with, an immense
plume Of pretty little trembling leaves.
One comprehends on seeing these stems,
which assume in few months enor-
nous proportions, the cruel ingenious
punishment OF the chinese in binding a
criminal to a young bamboo. The
plant grows and the wretch is quarter
ed in few weeks. No wood is lighter
or more useful than that of bamboo.
One does not understand why the
Egyptians neglect to plant it along the
canels and on every cultivated land
where it grows so we'll But what
gives, at least during winter and

The great soap manufacturing firm OF
Proctor a Gamble OF Cincinnati have en-
tered iuto an agreement with their en-
ployes by which the latter are to share in
the profits Of the business ia addition to
their wages. This action was voluntary
on the part OF the firm and without solicit
tation on the part of the employees. The
Evening Post of that city refers 20 the
new departure as follows:
The firm OF Proctor AZ Gamble, their EN-
ployes, the city OF Cincinnati, and the
toilers OF the whole world are to be con-
graduated upon the Inauguration by the
frm above mentioned OF IA practicable and
mutually beneficial scheme OF profit shnr-
ing, which inc udes all the small army OF
employees OF this great soap-making firm.
frocter q Gamble are To lie congraJu-
lated because they have bound their en-
ploves to their interest; because they
have sweetened their own residue of profit
Dy the consciousness that they receive it
INTO unenvled possession; because they
have the consciousness that they are not
only helping TO clean up the world OF
mankind, but also contributing TO tho
cheerful and hopeful solution of the great
problem OF profit distributions; and be-
cause every lover OF his race "a he uses "A
cake OF Ivory soap, will give an approving
thought to the firm which has joined hands
Win ITS employees In the profit Of It's pro-
duction.
The employs are TO be congratulated,
because, with no responsibility for the
losses OF the enterprise and no capital az
stake, they will first surely get their
wages and will thereafter get suitable
share in the profits of the undertaking.
The city OF Cincinnati is to be congratu-
lated because IL is TO have an opportunity
10 witness the practical operation and re-
suits OF profit sharing on a very large
scale; because the example right at no me-
is likely To be followed bv many, If not
most, other industrial establishments of
he city, and because IL augurs the intro
duction of Il happier feeling on the part OF
the manual labOrers of the city, whose
protection and comfort should be the
city first care.
The toilers of the whole world are TO be
because this example shows
that the old heather doctrine OF ''let
alone i being demolished. and that an
era OF mutually and fair dealing is at
hand.
1t Is long since the papers OF Cincinnati
have been able TO chronicle so pleasant an
item OF local news 1t is better to share
profits as we go along than TO hoard them
tlli we die, and then bequeath Thorn to the
public; and infinitely better than TO trans

woman's Fight Against Time


San Francisco Argonaut: When a
woman begins to show her age, the
first part to lose its firm youthful con-
tour is tho face and chm. then the
bust, and no amount of alum-water
washes nor ..astringent pomades," will
restore irmness to the flabby muscles,
and it then becomes necessary to look
about for some other beauty that nat
ure spared u little longer. The upper
part of the arms and the back
keep their wilderness and dclicacy long
after the rest of the woman is passed.
For that reason was the V-shaped
back invented, and therefore were
Sleeveless waists made which leave the
arm exposed up above the shoulder.
Long gloves hide many a wrinklcd
hand and witbered forearm, and the
modes'ly high front of the waist wells
the faded bust. while the black velvet
ribbon tied tightly around the throat
retains the loose fesh in its snug en-
brace, whileit whitcns the rest Of the
neck by contrast, and io also sustains
t'te basgy double chin. together with
the "wrinkle annihilator," which is
made of alum, parafhne and a little
sweet almond oil.
